A tribute to Coach Thompson
Fair winds and following seas to our founder, leader, mentor, coach and friend. We all have benefited from you in ways you could never imagine. You are a special and unique individual. The Marines at your next command and the athletes wherever you CrossFit will soon realize how fortunate they are to have you with them. In the military you become accustomed to parting ways with friends, hoping that someday your paths will cross again. Know that we will carry the torch high preaching virtuosity and the fundamentals. You will be missed.
As always, "Hang Tough"
Warm Up:
2200 run
30 squats at 1st corner
20 sit ups at 2nd corner
15 push ups at 3rd corner
10 pull ups at the end
WOD:
20# Med Ball Cleans X 10
Push Ups X 10
7 Rounds for time.

One thing I have learned in this establishment is there are rarely "Goodbyes", but a whole lot of "See you laters". Many Thanks to you Maj Thompson for all that you have done for us. It has been great having someone to chase after not only in terms of fitness and knowledge but also as a person.

Maj Thompson you have been a motivating force and a mentor from whom I have learned a great deal both physically and personally. I hope to stay in close contact as our ways part and hopefully will converge some day. All the best in the future to you, Allison, Evan and Savannah from myself, Tracey and the kids.

Maj Thompson - Thanks for the coaching and introduction to crossfit. I have learned a great amount in a short period of time. PFT pull-ups have never been easier.

Sir,
I'm sorry I missed the WOD on Friday, but I had promised Cassie we'd be at the beach that week months ago. I can not begin to tell you how much your leadership, mentoring, and friendship has meant to me. I truly learned the vast majority of my CF knowledge from you, and will keep it with me forever. Thanks for everything Sir.

Drew,
You will be missed. I think Scripture says best what you have provided all of us in the Quantico CrossFit Community.
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." Prov 27:17
Here, There, or in the Air - hope to see you and yours again soon.
